Rather than coding anything, why not use take advantage of the fact that
Asterisk already can do email message delivery and combine that with a
good mailing list manager like ezmlm-idx (http://www.ezmlm.org/)?  ezmlm
will take care of all of the list management for you, and message
delivery can be accomplished by creating a voicemail box that delivers
to the mailing list address.  If you make the list moderated then you
can also approve all messages before they go out.

Or do you mean audio message delivery to a list of phone numbers?
